All in all, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S2800HD because of its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sony RX10 IV will render more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older S2800HD will be behind in sensor innovation.
